The benefits of frequent positive affect: does happiness lead to success? Psychol Bull. 2005 Nov;131(6):803-55.Lyubomirsky S, King L, Diener E.Source: Department of Psychology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA. The results reveal that happiness is associated with and precedes numerous successful outcomes, as well as behaviors paralleling success. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that positive affect–the hallmark of well-being–may be the cause of many of the desirable characteristics, resources, and successes correlated with happiness. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16351326….(This study is included because meditation is proven to help create positive affect and positive affect is associated with increased success in life).

The ultimate reason for meditation is to return us to our wholeness, expand our awareness and accelerate our spiritual growth. Lisa Guyman teaches Primordial Sound Meditation. During this practice our minds become quiet allowing our bodies to gain the deep rest necessary to release stress and fatigue. In meditation we reconnect with our essence. This connection extends into our daily lives and can result in improved health, more fulfilling relationships, enthusiasm for life and increased creativity.

Comments

I have practiced many forms of meditation in the last 15 years; from Zen to T.M. to Vipassana to Primordial Sound Meditation with Lisa. PSM. is one of the easiest forms of meditation I have learned and practiced. The thing about meditation, all forms, is that consistency gets results. With PSM. the 20 minutes twice a day goes by so fast that you end up craving more time because it feels so good to be still and use your mantra. The mantra(sound) resonates with your deepest being helping you feel at home in your own body. As time goes on it becomes such a natural part of your day that you can’t imagine skipping it. And when you have to due to circumstances beyond your control you get to see the profound affect it has had on your life. They say that it’s not what happens during your meditation that counts, but how it affects your everyday life. Namaste~ Lynne, Yoga Instructor
